Alabama

Missed chance

Auburn could have asserted itself on the opening drive of the second half, but missed a golden chance. Brandon Cox threw wide to a wide-open Carl Stewart out of the backfield. Stewart probably would have scored. Great call. Bad execution by Cox.

Wes Byrum then missed a 43-yard field goal at the same end Leigh Tiffin missed from 44 yards. The wind is swirling at Jordan-Hare, so it's going to be risky relying on kickers to win this game.
